    Elon Musk Dines with SNL Team and Pays Particular Attention to Scale Cybertruck

    Interesting comments. Oh well, all I can say is that my pre-teen kids are excited about Elon hosting SNL and have asked if they can stay up and watch it with me. That does not happen for most guests, and they have not asked to do that since the first SNL airing post COVID (the Tom Hanks...

    Tesla Black Box?

    This was my initial thought as well. Have they released the cause of death and if they died immediately upon impact? If not it is very plausible that they lost control, crashed, caught fire, and instinctively tied to get away from the fire and left their original seats after the crash.

    Elon Musk Dines with SNL Team and Pays Particular Attention to Scale Cybertruck

    Full disclosure, I do not know a ton about Elon and I am probably much more conservative than most on here. Can someone help me understand the anticipated negative reaction to Musk being on SNL? The entertainment industry and SNL are historically left leaning, so I assume they would be in...

    Paying cybertruck with credit

    Here is an article about someone who bought a model 3 on a credit card. It states that Tesla would not allow him to buy the car directly with the credit card, but he used a 3rd party called Plastiq that charged him 2.5% to do the transaction. That $1,470 fee was worth it since he received...

    Why some electric car owners return to gas – the reasons aren’t surprising

    This article is really just about how you spin the numbers. It could just have easily been titled "82% of EV owners purchase another EV as their next purchase". You can either focus on the 18% that go back to ICE for whatever reason, or the 82% that do not. I'm fully anticipating the...

    VIDEO - Tesla Cybertruck TeraFactory Site Construction Is Well Underway

    Wow, great videos. Does anyone know if they will be using that huge flat roof for solar panels as well?

    Auto suppliers group urges slow transition to electric vehicles

    I've argued before on here that the government should stay out of mandating the switch to EV, but it would be even worse for them to slow down the market's natural shift to EV. If that means we lose an few companies along the way because they did not keep up, then so be it. Just because you...

    QUESTION FOR THE BRAINIACS...

    Have you considered the solar roof option on the CT that could charge it while you are driving the RV, sitting at a campsite, etc?

    Cybertruck delayed; writing is on the wall.

    Geez. I'm no Tesla fanboy by any means, but I can at least recognize that Elon/Tesla are innovators. Innovators are typically not big production powerhouses like the big automakers. Even looking back a bit at history when cars were new technology, there were massive delays and it took much...

    Any Saturday Night Live fans in the group?

    I'm envisioning him driving the CT up on stage for the opening monologue. As an added bonus, Miley Cyrus can come flying in on her wrecking ball and re-test the glass :)

    Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    For the record, I'm much more comfortable with the government offering incentives than I am with them outright mandating something. With the carrots/incentives, you still have the choice to do what is best for you as an individual or you as a landlord. With the bulldozer/mandates, that choice...

    Fiery deaths?

    Dang, hopefully they get to the root cause and make the appropriate design changes, firefighting techniques, etc. If you are into conspiracy theories, this huge campus is also in The Woodlands: https://corporate.exxonmobil.com/Locations/United-States/Houston-Campus

    Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    Thanks, I think it is always good and healthy to learn everyone's perspectives, even if you do not always agree. Using the stalemate example above, I'm curious to your thoughts on other "amenities" in apartments. Let's take high speed internet as an example. At some point in time, some...

    Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    I would still argue let the free market take care of it vs governmental requirements. That means if I have an EV, I'm going to be asking about outlets before I sign my lease and take my business to the locations that can give me the service I need. If I own the apartment building and see...

    Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    I guess I just do not see that as the role of government. Tesla is a market disruptor, and yes, I know it does not always meet the classic definition of a market disruptor. But lets not ignore that they have taken EVs from something of an oddity to a really cool and viable option to replace...

    Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    I would much rather see the market naturally shift towards EVs due to them being a better product, less environmental impacts, etc.

    ? Cybertruck Spotted at Giga Texas Plant! + Interior Look with Yoke Steering Wheel and Performance Pedals!

    The Austin area had some nasty hail yesterday. Does anyone know if the CT was involved in any unscheduled natural impact tests during its visit?

    Backview screen included in the infotainment screen

    You would also need to worry about the camera getting dirty, especially with a truck. That has happened a few times on my backup camera, but since I had the mirror it was not a huge deal to just remember to wipe off the backup camera the next time I stopped. It is your rear view camera, you...

    Self park into/out of garage?

    1st post, thanks for having me. I have been reading a ton on this forum over the last few weeks trying to learn about the Cybertruck, Tesla, and EVs in general. I do have a question on the ability of the CT to go into/out of the garage automatically. I have a standard 2 car garage and...
